Not known for doing to much pencil work, I more often than not draw the Cartoon using Edding technical pens on bleedproof marker paper [a4], then I scan them into the pc for colouring. I colour in photoshop elements using a new transparent layer for the colour and tick "use all layers" to pick up the pen work below. Once coloured I add balloons by creating an ellipse and stroking the outline white [then I draw the ...
